📉Mercedes' inexorable (so far) decline:
POINTS AFTER 5 RACES:
2019: 217 (1st)
2020: 180 (1st)
2021: 148 (2nd)
2022: 95 (3rd)
2023: 96 (3rd)
2024: 52 (4th)
Will the team come on top of their problems? And when?🤔
@MercedesAMGF1@LewisHamilton@GeorgeRussell63
REDBULL WAS UNDERPOWERED
Their '17 car was held back by Renault's low power (and unreliability):
-Competitive in street circuits
-Unsuitable for fast tracks
Still, Newey's team trimmed the rear wing significantly while retaining good downforce: P4 by @danielricciardo in Monza!
Remember when #Ferrari surprised everyone in 2017?
The SF70H was much shorter than the Mercedes (3594mm vs 3726mm wheelbase)
Strengths:
-Downforce
-Race Pace
Weaknesses:
-Top Speed
-Reliability (season-end)
In '18/'19 Ferrari reduced the drag - but lost their downforce edge…
📊Positions gained in the #ChineseGP
📈Hamilton gained the most (P18 to P9)
📉Bottas lost the most (P10 to P20 due to his retirement)
Ferrari recovered well after a disappointing qualifying (4 places gained in total)
The opposite for Aston: ALO and STR lost 4 places each
Via…
AVERAGE TIME IN PITS - #ChineseGP
🥇🟡RBR was fastest: flawless execution by @F1mech and his crew!
🥈🟠McL: +0.06s slower
🥉🔴Ferrari: +0.10s
🟢Sauber desperately needs the updated wheel nuts to fix their troublesome pit stops
Aston’s average was high due to STR
#F1
TOP SPEEDS - #ChineseGP
Stroll reached 348km/h as in the Sprint, the highest top speed once again: Aston reached the highest top speed in qualifying too, which confirms their low drag here
McL was the slowest car when the DRS was inactive: only 314km/h
#F1
For the people who are calling PIA in the comments: he had very visible floor damage!
His pace was not exciting even before that, but his overall pace cannot be compared to others
RACE PACE - #ChineseGP
🟡VER 0.67s/lap quicker than PER. A lot, even taking the traffic into account!
🟠McL (NOR) was 0.88s/lap behind but with one pit less
🔴LEC: +0.31s/lap vs NOR➡️McL was clearly quicker
🟢Aston's pace aided by the additional pits
Mercedes: no pace
#F1
Ferrari’s pace was much better on the Mediums than on the Hards. In particular, they struggled to bring them into the working temperature at the SC restart: NOR was way quicker in the first few laps after the restart
🗒️Notes on #ChineseGP!
🔵VER won and made the difference: PER couldn’t gain over NOR on the last stint
🟠NOR was MVP: he needs a win now
🔴Solid race by LEC; Ferrari limited the damage waiting for the upgrades
⚫️Good recovery by HAM
⚪️HUL in the points!
What’s YOUR take?🤔
#F1
📈START ANALYSIS - #ChineseGP SPRINT
Best Starters: HAM and LEC
Worst Starter: PIA (0.4s slower than HAM and LEC to reach 200km/h)
The two Williams struggled, too (0.3s lost to the best start)
Despite the Softs, Russell's start was just average
#F1
Highest top speed in the #SprintF1: 348km/h for Stroll
Leclerc was close (347km/h), and his average top speed was the highest together with Ricciardo's (337km/h for both)
Highest top speed without DRS: 324km/h (TSU)
#F1
RACE PACE - #ChineseGP SPRINT
🥇No one could match VER: 0.74s/lap quicker than anyone else!
🥈LEC was 2nd quickest, then🥉PER (+0.79s/lap) and ALO (+0.80s/lap). HAM was in the mix, too (+0.82s/lap)
McLaren was uncompetitive
What's your prediction for the race?🤔 #F1
TOP SPEEDS - SPRINT SHOOTOUT
Nine teams were in a narrow 3km/h range:
-Fastest (322km/h): Aston, Haas and Williams
-Slower: (319km/h): McL and Ferrari
-Slowest (just 315km/h): Alpine (high drag and, despite that, the drivers had to brake sooner than most!)
#F1#ChineseGP
FASTEST SECTORS - FP1 #chineseGP
Mercedes/ ALO on Hards
Others on Softs
🟠NOR quickest in the twisty S1 by far:
-McL is showing excellent grip
-Most teams are probably still far from the limits
He aborted the lap while in Sector 3
🟢STR: quickest in S2
🟡RBR: quickest in S3
MINISECTORS - FP1 #ChineseGP
🟢STR was quickest on the main straight, and out of T3/T8/T12
🟠PIA fast in the twisty S1 and S3
🟡VER quickest in S3 (long straight)
Laptimes still very slow (almost 5s to last pole)➡️Hard to guess the running order!
Aston: 324km/h (+4km/h vs McL)
